Latest Discovery In Natural Gas.

PITTsBURG, January Cdr. II. Bullen,
of this city, is to the front with discovery
which, it is claimed, will render apart
ments where natural gas is used as healthy
as formerly when coal or other fuel was in
use. The i'll health constantly being re-
ported from all quarters where the new
fuel is in use is, he says, due to the accum-
ulation of carbon dioxide gas, a deadly
poison, detected by headaches and stupor
produced on the occupants. To prevent
the accumulation Of this gas in rooms 80
heated, he found, after series Of expert
ments, is impossible, it matters not how
near perfection combustion may be. He
then conceived the idea that the only rem
edy is to absorb this Gas and thus enable
the pOpnlace to use the new fuel with i'm
punity. This he does by liquid, small
quantities of which sprinkled around the
CRATE or corners of the room being sufficient
to absorb all poisonous elements and keep
rooms moist for twenty -four hours. The
is said to be perfectly harmless
to carpets or garments. In few days all
experiments will be completed, when the
details Of the discovery will be given for
the benefit of the gas consuming world.

pletely off the trucks.
The smoking car, which was crowded
with passengers, was next overturned, and
although both of these cars were badly
wrecked, no one was killed, or even badly
injured. 1t was with the greatest difficult
ty, however, that the passengers who were
imprisoned beneath the wreck were ex-
tricated and the widest excitement pre-
vailed at the crossing. 1t is not yet
known who is to blame for the accident.
The roads were blocked and immense
crowds gathered at the scene of the acci-
dent.
AtnOOn the tracks were cleared and all |

MRS. LOGAN'S PENSION
THE BILL GRANTING HEB TWO THOUS-
AND A YEAR PASSED
By the Senats-Ths Debate on the hsaSurs-Mr
Plat on the interstate Commerce Bill-The
Pooling Clauss-Ths House Passes the
Pension Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-In the SEN
ate to-day, Mr.. Edmunds presented mem
orial from the committee on the General
National Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, praying Congress topro
vide for obtaining statistics of marriage
and divorce
Mr.. Blair. a memorial from many organ
izations throughout the country, praying
for legislation to prevent the violation OF
the Sabbath, by the running of railway
rains.
In the debate on the Logan pension bill
Mr. Mitchell stated that the bill proposed
to do precisely what was done for the
widows of Generals Hancock and Thomas.
Mr.. Maxey would prefer to have some
further explanation of the bill. There was
great difference between the case OF
General Logan and the cases OF Generals
Hancock and Thomas, who had spent
their lives in the army. In so far
as a pension was concerned,
he thought that the case of General Logan
should stand on the same principle as that

army the disease from which he died,
there would be ample ground for n pension
for his widow.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that he heard Gen.
Logan say he had been wounded five times,
and that he was undoubtedly entitled to a
pension but had never claimed one.
The Senate passed the bill granting q
pension of S2, 900 per year to the widow OF
General Logan.
The Senate also passed, without division,
the bill increasing the pension ofthe widow
of General Francis p. Blair from $50 pei
month to S2, 900 per year.
Shortly before two o'clock consideration
of the Interstate commerce bill was re-
sumed, and Mr.. Platt continued his speech
begun yesterday.
He maintained that a rate of carrying
freight which only paid operating expenses
and fixed charges, was as much an unrea-
sonable rate rs a rate that was too high,
and that would pay too large a dividend

That railroad monopoly

believed it better to have business kept in

solidated. He believed it better to let the

expense. He believed it better to let the
weak railroads live than to build up one
magnificent railroad corporation that would
occupy to the railroad business of the
country the same position as the Western
Union Telegraph Company does to the tele-
graph business of the country.

To DO JUSTICE

BY the railroads and by the people. They
were here to mold the scales of justice with
even hand and not TO act upon prejudice.
An unremuneratiye rate was just rs un-
reasonable and Us injurious rs high rates,
and the railroad companies would have to
see toit If the public welfare was to be pro-
moted) that remunerative rates tor freight
and passengers were received. The law Of
competition, although it might be just as
TO other business, was inapplieable to
the business of railroads.
How did the presidents and managers
of Improbable railroads attempt now to
make money? Not by the use OF their roads,
but by stock iObbing. That was inevitable.
1t was in the nature of things. 1t was not
the remuuerative railroads that furnished
business for the Stock Exchange. 1t was
not dealing in the stock of remunerative
railroads that produced panics that made
milliOnaires and paupers in this country.

and said that some men believed in that as
the best outcome of the railroad problem.
No truer sentence had ever been uttered
than that where combination is probable,
competition is impossible. This bill left
open and invited the worst kind of com
bination-the consolidation of railroads
corporate capital. What were the rail
roads to do if prohibited from making
pooling arrangements? Experience taught
that the old rate would begin again, and
the end of it would be, as it always has
been, consolidation. The mOnopolies oI
this country had been built on the graves
of weak competitions. The bill invited

AN ENGLISH OFFICERS MARRIAGE TO AN
AFR1cAS.-Mr. Justice Stirling, in the

bsfore him an extraordinary and romantic
marriage case, arising cut of the death Of
Commander Bethel, who was snos oy TUG
Roefs Ia 1884 in an engagement IN WHICH
Sir Charles Warren aso took part. CON
mender Bethell few months before mis-
death had become enamored OF q natlVs

married her according to the rites OF that
tribe. the ceremony consisting OF the siaugn'
ter of an OK, the head OF which was sew

Mon;sioe, an African King, chief OF the
Boralaeda Baraong, made an athcaVit 10

Commander Bethel, and that she was
not before married. Commander Bethel,
By his will, left certain number
Of beifers to Teepoo, and directed tnat

ia England after it reached eight years OF
age; and if boy that he should enter the
Enciish army, but that Teepoo should Tor

Commander Bethel left considerable proper
ty in Yorkshire, and the question before the
Court was whether the marriage was legal
one, and the daughter consequently legltl
mate and entitled to the property. Mr.
Graham Hastings, Q. c., contended that
this was not polygamons marriage, and
was consequently valid. There may have
bsen polygamy in the Baralong tribe, but
Commander Bethel lived with Teepoo as
his only wife, and had no intention of com
hitting polygamy.-St. James's Gazette.
